Spires refurb approved

Hunter REIM’s plans for a £7m refurbishment of The Spires shopping centre in Barnet have been approved.

Hunter acquired The Spires Shopping Centre from The Pears Group in 2015. The 90,000 sq ft scheme is anchored by Waitrose, and includes 37 units let to a mix of retail and leisure occupiers. Tenants include New Look, Body Shop, Waterstones, Carluccio’s and Costa.

The refurbishment plans include new shops, restaurants and improved public space as well as a new anchor store unit.
